Love At The Wrong Table

Milani grinned gleefully from ear to ear when she saw

all the people staring at him. She was determined to

humiliate him as revenge for what happened at the

project site.

To her surprise, however, Emmanuel retorted with a

smile, “Shouldn’t you be getting yourself checked out

at the gynecology department? If a person like you is

allowed to come here, then I see no problem with me

being here.”

Everyone began murmuring among themselves when

they heard that.

The men, in particular, let their imaginations run wild

as they discussed how Milani must’ve looked when

Emmanuel examined her body.

Milani’s face burned bright red as she shouted, “Don’t

listen to him! I have never been examined by him! He’s

just making stuff up!”

Since Milani was trying to humiliate Emmanuel,

Roselynn decided to return the favor. “Heh… He

wouldn’t be interested in you even if you were standing

stark naked in front of him! Now, I recall a certain

someone showing up at our house asking to marry this

gynecologist!”

“N–Nonsense! I would never want to marry a loser like

him!” Milani protested, but her desperation only made

her seem even more guilty.

Most of the onlookers assumed she was simply

mocking Emmanuel out of jealousy. Some of them

even thought Roselynn was Emmanuel’s girlfriend. Is

this a battie between his ex and his current girlfriend?

Not wanting to waste any more of their time and

energy on Milani, Emmanuel and Roselynn continued

eating and hunting for single, handsome men at the

banquet.

In order to add insult to injury, Roselynn even flashed

Milani a smug grin as they walked past her. You think

you can win against me? Ha! You’re a hundred years

too early!

Emmanuel and Roselynn were having a great time

enjoying the food when a guy called out from behind,

“Long time no see, Roselynn!”

Roselynn turned around in response, only to frown

when she saw who it was.

Emmanuel, too, had displeasure written all over his

face as he recognized the guy.

That’s Chase Parker! He’s about six feet tall, looks rather

handsome, and has a wealthy family background.

Roselynn used to have a crush on him back when she

was in university, and the two of them ended up dating

each other. He was Roselynn’s first love. However, she

caught him cheating on her not long after they started

dating, so she broke up with him on the spot. Roselynn

never dated anyone after that. I’m pretty sure it has

something to do with her past relationship. It probably

traumatized her deeply.

“Mister, do you mind if I speak to Roselynn in private?”

Instead of feeling awkward after being ignored by

Roselynn, Chase shamelessly asked Emmanuel to

leave them.

A poor guy like him doesn’t deserve to be with

Roselynn!

Emmanuel nearly burst out laughing when he realized

that Chase didn’t know they were siblings. Since Chase

assumed he was courting Roselynn, Emmanuel

decided to play along and said, “And why should I let

you have this beautiful woman over here? She’s the

most perfect woman I’ve ever met!”

He wanted to make Chase regret cheating on a pretty

woman like Roselynn.

Chase let out a disdainful chuckle as he placed a

stack of cash in front of Emmanuel and said, “Judging

by your outfit, I’d say you’re not a guest at this

banquet. Here’s a tip for you. Now, buzz off before you

lose your job!”

Because Emmanuel’s plain attire made him look out of

place among all the guests on the third floor, Chase

mistook him for a waiter.

Amused, Emmanuel was about to say something in

response when Milani exclaimed in the distance, “Look!

That’s Mr. Doyle!”

Even Roselynn couldn’t help glancing in that direction.

What’s going on? Did some big shot CEO show up or

something?

Moments later, a burly man in a military uniform made

his way toward them with his head slightly raised.

There were two other guys from wealthy families

following closely behind him.

That man was Keegan Doyle. Despite looking rather

mature, he was only twenty–seven years old. He held

the rank of junior lieutenant in Yeringham’s military

base.

His father was a lieutenant colonel in the military, and

his mother was a government official in Yeringham.

Although her position was not as high as Mackenzie’s

aunt, she still wielded a fair amount of power.

Therefore, Keegan was the epitome of a prominent Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

scion in Yeringham and had made a name for himself.

Naturally, he became a prime target for those who

wanted to butter him up the moment he showed up at

the banquet on the third floor.

However, Roselynn was not interested in tanned,

muscular men and stopped paying attention to him

after a few seconds.

Everyone began looking forward to a good show when

they saw Keegan walking toward Roselynn.

Milani, too, noticed from the look in Keegan’s eyes that

he seemed to have taken an interest in Roselynn.

At first, she was disappointed in the fact that Keegan

wasn’t into her.

However, her lips curled into an expectant smile when

she realized something.

Mr. Doyle doesn’t know that Emmanuel is Roselynn’s

brother, and she doesn’t seem to be interested in

muscular men like him either. Oh, this is going to be

interesting!

Emmanuel and Roselynn were chatting away at the

time, so they didn’t pay attention to Keegan at all.

Chase had an awkward look on his face after

Emmanuel completely ignored his attempts at

showing off.

Right when he thought things couldn’t get any worse,

Keegan strode over to them and loomed over them

like a mountain.

“Is that really you, Rosie? It’s so good to see you here!

We have a lot of catching up to do!” Keegan exclaimed

while keeping his scorching gaze fixated on Roselynn,

ignoring Emmanuel and Chase completely.

“Huh? You’re Keegan? As in, my junior from university?”

Roselynn paused for a few seconds before recalling

what happened in university years ago.

She was in her final year of university when a guy three

years younger than her tried to court her.

Roselynn didn’t like muscular men, so she rejected him

without even knowing his name and identity.

It wasn’t until Keegan called her “Rosie” that she

realized he was that same guy.

“Haha! Technically, I wasn’t your junior. I was actually

an instructor at the university!”

Keegan got really excited when he saw that Roselynn

still remembered him.

Not only is Roselynn curvy in all the right places, but

she also has a charming personality and exudes a

feminine charm!

Keegan then frowned as he shouted at Emmanuel and

Chase, “Get lost, you two! I want to have a private

conversation with Rosie!”

Although Chase felt incredibly insulted, he didn’t dare

argue with Keegan because of the latter’s powerful

background.

Keegan then held Roselynn’s hand and tried to

forcefully shove Emmanuel aside without regard for

manners at all.

Noticing the helpless look in Roselynn’s eyes,

Emmanuel shoved Keegan back and asked with a

sneer, “I found her first, so why should I let you have

her?”

Chase may not have the guts to offend this guy, but I

do!

Everyone at the scene gasped in shock when they saw

that.

“Who the f*ck are you?”

Keegan was a vulgar man. Though he was able to put

on an elegant facade in front of Roselynn, he was

quick to drop his polite act and reveal his true colors

when faced with another guy.
